Tank update: LPS (cont.)

Lobophyllia Go!
No real changes. I removed some of the advancing zoanthids to give it more space.

Pectinia Go!
No changes. Has grown onto the rock supporting it.
Scolymia Go!
No changes. Fighting off the mushrooms around it.

There were no new additions

Softies
Capnella Go!
Had to remove BOTH specimens as my Sohal continued to find them irresistible as a snack food.
Lobophytum Go!
No changes.
Sinularia Go!
This piece is really growing quickly and will have to be cut back.
There were no new additions

Fish

In addition to the Ventralis episode outlined in the Refugium sub section, there have been a few more changes and additions in this category. There have also been a couple of Ids!

Anthias Go!
No new additions…at least none that made it to the tank anyway. On a positive note however, the Unidentified Anthias has been identified as an unusual color morph of a female P. squamipinnis by both Bruce Mewhinney and Mike "Kahuna Tuna" Hahn.
Butterfly Go!
I now have a Copperband Butterfly. I purchased it from The Marine Center in early Feb. '03 to continue the job of eating Aiptasia that my Heniochus had begun. Obviously, I had my trepidations about this fish. I understand they can be hit and miss, fragile, and fussy. I also know that if I get lucky, they can be personable, intelligent, and an Aiptasia's worst nightmare. It's too early to know yet. It had a pretty shaky time in my refugium though; cloudy eye, stopped eating for a couple days, sore on it's side. Pulled through though. So maybe I WILL get lucky. Check him out .
Chromis Go!
No changes. I DID have four last time, right?
